There will be experimental sessions guided by training experts:
M. Barot (Mexico), T. Bruestle (Bielefeld), T. Huebner (Paderborn),
M. Kuenzer (Bielefeld), R. Noerenberg (Bielefeld), R. Roelse (Essen),
J. Rosenboom (Essen), R. Tiefenbrunner (Berlin), C. Wagner (Essen),
M. Weller (Essen).
---------------------------------------------------------------

The aim of the conference is to bring together established scientists
and young researchers (i.e., aged under 35).
The conference is intended to provide a concise introduction to the
use of computational methods in parts of group theory, representation
theory and invariant theory.
Young researchers from the EU and associated countries are especially
invited to participate. They can apply for full support both for the
travel and for their local expenses at Essen.
---------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Applications for support should include the following information:
Last name, first name, age, nationality, university/company, 
address, phone number, fax number (if possible), university degrees,
brief curriculum vitae since graduation, current or projected research
activities, comments on benefit of participation from supervisor or 
department head (optional).

Applications may be sent to one of the organizers by email or letter,
if possible before February 14, 1997.

This is the first Euroconference in a series of four organized by the
network `Invariants and Representations of Algebras' (Antwerp, Bielefeld,
Edinburgh, Essen, Ioannina, Leeds, Murcia, Paris VI, Torun, Trondheim)
and coordinated by C.M. Ringel (Bielefeld). The series is sponsored by
the TMR programme of the European Union. Additional support for the first
conference is provided by the IEM (Essen) and the SFB 343 (Bielefeld).
